a fantasy romance about an immortal goblin cursed to live forever.
a 939-year-old guardian of souls just stuck existing while everyone else moves on.
which honestly sounds exhausting. imagine never being able to rest.

his only way out is finding his destined human bride.
the one person who can pull the invisible sword from his chest and finally end his life.
no pressure at all.

then he meets her.
a girl who is somehow tied to his fate without even knowing it.
and suddenly forever doesn’t feel so lonely anymore.

they slowly get pulled into each other’s worlds.
past lives start catching up.
and the line between love and destiny gets really blurry.

it’s soft. it’s tragic. it’s beautiful in that “this is going to hurt later” way.
